Reddit mentions of Voigtlander 25mm f/0.95 Nokton Aspherical Lens, Type II, Manual Focus for Micro 4/3 Mount

The Voigtländer 25/0.95 is pretty much under a 1000 bucks.

Hi /u/Power-of-Dong - If you're willing to up your budget a little, you can get a [brand new imported Sony A7s body with a one year store warranty from 6th Ave Express for $2259] (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5575034783&toolid=10001&campid=5337235943&customid=&icep_item=191241646583&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg).

This camera can pretty much see in the dark: http://vimeo.com/99893160

But you'd still need lenses.

If the Sony is above your budget limit, you may want to consider getting a superfast [Voigtlander 25mm f0.95 lens for $974] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0046EC1OE/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0046EC1OE&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20) and a Panasonic GH3 ([on sale for $798 as of this post] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009B0WREM/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B009B0WREM&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20)). Here is what the GH3 can do at night when combined with the Voigtlander:

Personally, I recommend the Voigtlander 17.5mm 0.95. Gorgeous lens, built like a tank, and incredibly fast. Here's a video where a reviewer demonstrates the lens. Also, on MFT, it basically behaves like a 35mm lens.

​

Here's where you'll find it on Amazon.

There are two I would recommend immediately:

If you get the Nokton, then make sure you also get a decent ND filter for it, so you can shoot wide open in strong sunlight.
